Tina Williams-Peterson with Leadership Memphis
These past 10 weeks have deepened my understanding of advocacy, community impact, and purposeful leadership. I’m walking away grounded in my philosophy: “The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.”
Grateful for this experience and ready to do the work—serving my city, community, and schools with intention.
